Quick Overview

Challenge

Time Consuming and Expensive Screening Being a major player in the 3D motion tracking business, Movella understands the need to be in line with export controls. The company needs to screen every order to ensure that receiving parties are cleared to purchase its products. With its international operations and global expansion, the need for an easy-to-use automated screening solution that could be integrated into the existing sales platform was mission-critical.

Solution

Automated Screening Integrated with Salesforce With customers worldwide and a large portfolio of high-tech products, having a solid compliance program is a necessity for Movella. As part of its compliance strategy, Movella turned to Descartes Visual Compliance to automate its denied party screening processes.

Jeroen Weijts, Director Operations at Movella explains, “We produce high-tech 3D motion tracking technologies and ship them around the world. It is very important that we make sure our orders only get to cleared recipients.”

Movella had implemented the Salesforce CRM platform throughout the entire company, including all subdivisions. Thus, having a seamlessly integrated screening solution was important. Weijts elaborates, “The integration of Descartes Visual Compliance with Salesforce went smoothly, including the testing phase. Since the implementation 3 years ago, we’ve had a clear line of communication with Descartes’ customer service.”

Descartes Visual Compliance offers an up-to-date global database of hundreds of watch lists and provides a full range of due diligence capabilities, including automatically screening every contact and account at the moment of creation in Salesforce and recording compliance activities.

Weijts expands, “To be 100% sure we are compliant, we do an additional screening before we send out each order. Additionally, Descartes Dynamic Screening automatically rescreens existing accounts and contacts daily, ensuring we don’t miss anything since sanctions lists are updated regularly. If a shipment is flagged, results are sent to our customer service department who reviews potential positive matches and takes appropriate action.”

Having this solution as part of its compliance program allows Movella to demonstrate effective compliance to regulatory authorities. “There have been occasions where we’ve been contacted by governments concerning specific orders. In these instances, it is important to have an extensive automated compliance program to demonstrate our due diligence.”
